About Me:
I was born and raise in Albuquerque NM, moved to Phoenix AZ is Jan of 2005 with my husband Dan. I was graciously born into the sport of Ballooning, and wouldn't change that for anything. My first ride was in the Coke balloon with Bob Clark, (actually it was a tether ride, my first real ride was with my Uncle Kevin) I locked myself in the car at initiation time. I was afraid I would get drunk if I was initiated. Things have changed! I crew with my brother Chris and my Dad Mike whenever we get the chance. It's always a good time, and we ALWAYS get A.D.H.D. and that's awesome. Don't judge me! Fly with us, and you'll understand everything. Trust me!

It's baby time!!!

Well we went and did it! The Rayburn/Liberti clan will have a new little baby to corrupt and completely destroy in January of 2009! That's right!! Dan and I are pregnant! But not to worry, we have our priorities in line and we will defintely be out at Fiesta. It may put a damper on some of the years balloon rally's, but I think the gas prices are doing a good enough job of that anyway! Super excited!!! See you all in Ocotober when I'll have a nice and round belly!!

Gallup

What a bummer! We didn't get to fly this weekend at all. But that does not mean we didn't have a good time! There was a lot of poker, a ton of drinking, and we caught a couple fish so it was good times non the less. Pictures to come, I have to charge my camera. Got in on Friday night at around 11:30. The drive was absolute hell because of the rain, but the fog was near impossible to see through! As soon as we got in, we sat down, opened a beer and joined the poker game. With the exception of…

Yuma

What a BLAST! Short flights, but lots of fun! It was good to spend the weekend with the Muellers, and have some fun in Mexico. Got 4 bottles of Tequila for only 38 bucks! Total! Hopefully it will last the year, but I'm not making any promises. Dad got a new pair of "Rayban" sunglasses. We're calling them "Raybon" but whatever, dude got a sweet deal. Talked him down from 28 bucks to 12! My Dad the negotiator. The dinner on Saturday night was yet again amazing and I ate myself sick (again.) Check… Continue

Daniels check ride

Well another one bites the dust. We're pretty proud of our baby bear. On the 11th of November my little brother passed his check ride and received his pilots license! Needless to say, we are all pretty damn proud of him! The morning was a little tense (as all check rides must be) but he got off the ground, and into the air in no time, and there was tons of support for him on the ground. The only down side of the morning is that the little shit threw his champaigne on me so *I* was the one tha…

Balloon Fiesta blurb

What a flippen awesome time. Can't remember the last fiesta that someone flew every single day! Nothing that sucks about flying 10 days! What an absolute blast we had. Got into town Thursday night, and the second I saw Chris and Anna, the A.D.H.D kicked into over time. Haven't seen my brother in 10 months, so it was well over due. Had a wonderful flight on Friday morning, which pumped us up for the week to come. Saturday was an awesome Mass Ascension, but Sunday and Monday, we kicked Continue

Yeah! I just found out you will be coming to Chatfield and I am way excited! I can't wait to see your pregnant belly! I thought I was going to have to wait until balloon fiesta! I do believe a visit to PHX is way past due also. I may have to start looking into that!

I am putting a video together with all sorts of ballooning pics and video and I was wondering if I could use your pics/vids in it? It is all just for fun and would be posted here whenever it is done.

I know...we suck...we have been told that Bluff is awesome! Ah well, maybe next year. We are headed to Loveland in Feb. with Mike (1 down 8 to go) and the rest of the Pussy Posse. Then I think that's it for a little while...until the next offer comes up! We do a really fun one in Ascension Mexico - a few weeks after easter. Hope you had a Blast in Bluff!
